Asparagus Gruyere Tart
Author Manila Spoon
Ingredients
1 sheet frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
2 cups grated Gruyere Cheese, see Notes for possible substitute
bunch of thin Asparagus
1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced (see photo of tart to see how it should look like when chopped)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Balsamic Vinegar, optional (I used Nonna Pia’s Balsamic Glaze)
Italian Herb Seasoning or your favorite combo of dried herbs, optional (I used a light sprinkle of Fox Point)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the defrosted puff pastry on top of a large shallow baking sheet. Unfold and roll the defrosted puff pastry sheet to about 16" x 12" rectangular shape.
Score the dough 1" from the edges to create a rectangular frame. Use a fork to pierce the dough inside the frame. This is to prevent the dough from rising while it's baking and will leave a nice frame around the perimeter of the dough.
Bake just until it turns a little light brown about 8-10 minutes. Remove the shell from the oven. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and lay the asparagus alternating the ends and tips. Brush with oil using a pastry brush. Place the sliced bell pepper on top. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the asparagus are crisp-tender and the cheese has melted. Slide the tart onto a serving dish. Sprinkle with your choice of dried herb blend and drizzle with a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Serve with a salad for a light lunch or dinner.
Charlene’s notes 4-9-2023: This was excellent and pretty easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly.
